So to sum up this episode, they all suck!!!
I kind of suprise that Silent Hill wasn't mention at all when you just throwing some films into the debate.

At least Super Mario Bros. and Mortal Kombat were a very enjoyable kind of bad.
Now if you want BAD video game movies, Alone In The Dark s'all's I'm gonna say.

Are you sure its not because you've not seen them and don't want to see them to have a debate?Firefilm said:
Totally agreed. I was gonna get cranky if they mentioned this one in the video. I've heard a lot of people say it's the worst movie adaptation of a videogame/worst movie they've ever seen (I think the second statement is a /complete/ exaggeration), but I think it's the best adaptation yet. I may be crazy, but I have high hopes for the sequel-- at least they're trying to stick to the plot of SH3!Mike Richards said:
Some friends and I started a weekly 'Bad Movie Night' a couple years ago, and we've suffered through a lot of videogame adaptations, but I think King of Fighters and House of the Dead are tied for worst. My fiancé is a huge KOF fan, and he got as mad at that movie as I did with Catwoman. -__- We still have to see Chun-Li, Blood Rayne, and DOA.
This ones easy Super Mario Bro Movie is the worst! Whatever they new what they were doing or not is irrelevant if it sucks it sucks excuses for why it sucks has no implication on the degree of sucking.
I'd also like to point out the first Resident Evil Movie wasn't that bad. Every other Resident Evil Movie after that tho was complete crap.

This.Qitz said:I enjoyed watching the Super Mario Bro's movie. Not for being a good Mario movie but for being god damn funny. Also, the Belgium guy playing Guile was funny. Nothing beat Bison and his "and Satan descended to Earth from Heaven, LIKE LIGHTNING!" Everything he said was fucking genius.
"For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday."
How is that not epic?
But Raul Julia was an awesome actor, the only reason he was in Street Fighter was because he was dying of cancer and he let his kids pick his last movie.
Also, Street Fighter movie: make Guile the main character, make the actor look nothing like Guile, wat?
Really, Bison is the only reason to watch that movie. (Coincidentally, Bison is the only reason to watch the cartoon, too. Large Ham!Bison is my favorite.)
Also, does this mean that the Prince of Persia movie was actually decent? I'm shocked.
Ok, I have to admit, the constant debate change had me laughing throughout.
Though in fairness to the Spirits Within one...that one's very hard one to argue given how much the Final Fantasy series shifts around. I mean, compare the setting of Final Fantasy VI to VII, or VII to VIII...Basically if you see a new Final Fantasy title that doesn't have "-2" in its title, you expect it to have nothing to do with the other installments of the series, so really, the movie was just following the games' long standing trend in that regard.

Nobody has mentioned the Farcry movie yet so I'm throwing that out there, it is a seriously awful piece of crap. I might be the only person on the planet who has seen it thought because whenever I mention it in debates like this nobody even seems aware it exists.
On a side note how dare anyone suggest Silent Hill is on of the worse, Silent Hill is hands down one of the best. Okay it's not a great movie but as an adaptation it's brilliant. I defy you to find a single moment in any video game movie that understands the source material as well as the moment when in Silent Hill the main character puzzles from the drawing in the car to the secret door in the hotel. Whether you like the film or not is irrelevant, and yes it goes off the rails in the second half, but it still shows an understanding of the game, something which can't be said for the Resident Evil movie.
The worse I vote for Spirits Within. I don't hate that movie and there's plenty stupider options in the list but I vote for it because I felt like that movie tricked me into watching it by putting Final Fantasy in the title.
